Women Far Superior to Men in Their
Delicacy Of Touch and Dexterity.
The life of female worker in "Fabrica
de Tabacos" is laborious and not very well
paid, but it is CHEEKY. Two millions Of
pounds Of tobacco are on an average manipu-
lated in factory employing, say, 4,Ooo
hands, A dexterous female operative may
make in day from ten to twelve ''atados"
or bundles, each containing fifty cigars, and
it is questionable whether her average sti-
pend exceeds the Spanish equivalent of one
shilling and sixpence day. Elder women are
employed in making, at somewhat higher
wages, very fine rappee snuff called "tabaco
de frailes," or monks mixture, which is gar
bled with ''almagra,n red earth brought
from the vicinity of Carthagena.
1t is not alone in the great cities of the
peninsula that the cigar making industry
gives employment to crowds of women, for
the most part young 1t may be mentioned
incidentally that the Spanish "cigarreras"
are q very healthy race and enjoy remarka-
ble immunity from febrile maladies. In the
city of New York alone it is estimated that
there are 20 ,0O0 cigarmakers, large proper
ton Of whom are women, and it is a note
worthy fact that the industry is almost
wholly native, cigarmakers by trade form

immigrants from Europe landed in the

as much work as they want at Bremen, al

the Philippine islands the ladies have de

eve doubt" says one of the
Montana exchanges, if u people
give the proper amount of credit to
Whitetie, of this city, for the grand
work he is doing in Kidding the
place Of gambling houses and break
ing up the monster vice of gambling.
Few seem to realize the magnitude
of the work he is accomplishing. As
an instance we might mention, that
one night recently, in the evening
about s o'clock the reverend gentle
man took $50 which he had collected
for foreign missions the Sunday be-
fore, put it in his pocket and went
down to the Gold Brick, the most
notorious gambling den in the city.
Squaring himself before the faro lay
out, the good man began to earnestly
play his system, keeping close up to
the limit, and at 8 o'clock the next
morning he had broken the bank
and got a deed of the premises,
while the former proprietor was
walking out of town without his
breakfast. This is but one instance
of the great work Rev. Whitetie is
doing for our city"

aside covered with crackers and
cakes and %jellies and things that
come in very convenient once in a
while. Mrs. Boucicault was out and
the lady sat down to wait for her.
Looking at these dainties as the time
flow by and Mrs. Boucicault did not
appear, she was tempted beyond On
durance and started to skirmish
among them. She found a pot of
marmalade. 1t was very nice. She
took a cracker and covered it with
marmalade and enjoyed it. She
took another, and more until she had
made a serious inroad on the Dundee
dainty. Mrs. Boucicault not arriv-
ing, she put her card on the table
and went away. Next day she met
Mrs. B%oucicault, who apologized
for not having been home.
"Oh, I had a nice time," said the
lady; II ate all your crackers, and
really I never tasted such delicious
marmalade."

A WONDERFUL CHILD.
IL Talks at Birth and AssOnishei
Its Relatives.


A queer story comes from Wolf
Greek, about 80 miles from this
place.
About ten days ago a child was
born to Mrs. Henry Green, a col.
ored woman living on Wolf Greek,
les Markleville.
After the child which proved a
boy was safely delivered, it was
rugged up in its swaddling clothes.
and handed to its mother. As it
came into the maternal arms it dis
tinctly calculated, "Hallo" in a
tone of voice which caused the
mother to almost faint away. and
the relatives of the child were dumb
with establishment.
After they had recovered from
their establishment they concluded
it was a mistake, when the child
distinctly said:
II want my dinner, hurry up"
The words came right from the
lips of the hour-old babe, and sew
eral Of its relatives ran out and
brought in the neighbors to see the
wonderful child.
Shortly the house was packed
with people who waited several
hours to hear the child speak again.
1t made no further sign, and several
of the crowd departed, denouno-
ing the colored people as hum
bugs.
Suddenly, however, the child re-
marked in perfectly clear tones:
What's the matter here, any
how?"
This time there could no longer
be any doubt about the speaking
child, and the utmost excitement
prevailed in the house.
The mother was nearly dead from
fright, and the doctor was appar-
emily at his wits end. Thus mat
ters went along for several days. the
child talking every few hours, when
last Friday it said:
Grover Cleveland will be the
next President"
This remark caused great con.
sternation in the family, as they were
all strict Republicans.
Since the above was in type a new
version of the wonderful event has
reached this Office. It appears that a
man who was travelling through
that country stopped at the Negroes
house for shelter having lost his way
in travelling. This man was q
clever ventriloquist who saw the OPP
portuity for an exhibition of his
powers and put in several days hoax
ing the superstitious people OF that
wild section. 1t transpired that the
mans name was Livingston. He
was connected with the Examiner
and had been sent up by that Journal
to investigate some fraudulent tim
Der entries. He is the c%leaverest
ventriloquist on the Coast.

OVERHEARD IN WARRINGTON,
sparks In u Pathetic Mood.

SnarkS III u NuOOus
A curious incident is related OF
ex.Land Commissioner Sparks. He
is a violent, hot-tempered fellow,
but that he has a good big heart in
his big broad breast is shown by a
little incident a few days before he
rendered his resignation. One day
the clerks at the Land Office had
been permitted to go home early in
the day, as it was a sort of half
holiday occasion in the department.
The chief of one Of the divisions un-
der Sparks had just arranged to
leave the building, and had his little
daughter, a wee fodder, with him for
a little outing during the afternoon =,
when he received a summons by
messenger to co ne at once to Sparks
room. He went, and found the
General pacing the floor and making
the air blue with explosives. He
was boiling with rage. Smith"
he said, as the chief entered the
room. "where in - are all these
clerks? I've been sending for them
and find them all gone"
"Yes General" replied the chief,
they we're given permission to go
early to day, you know"
Were they?" said Sparks, still
boiling with rage. Well, I want
them. Here is this piece of work
that 1 want done at nee. 1t must
be done this very afternoon and it
can't be done without them. Send
for them at once and bring them
back here. Send for them at once,
I say. A fine piece of business, this
is. Send and bring them back here,
every one of them"
But. General" the chief said
soothingly. 81 would scarcely be
able to do this. They ore scattered
all over the city, very few of them
ut home at this hour"-he was going
on with further argument when sud
denly Sparks eye fell upon the wee
fodder who had accompanied the
chief clerk to the room.

said as he stopped his angry walk
and turned toward it with a changed
face and manner.
Mine, General" said the clerk.
The General who q moment before
had been fairly ablaze with rage,
walked to the child. and patting it on
the head, spoke kindly to it. The
face, which a moment before was
drawn with stern lines of anger, re-
laxed into a look of kindness, and he
stopped and took the child in his
arms. Lifting it to his face, the lips
which a few moments before had been
pouring forth bitter words, kissed
those Of the innocent child, and the
hand stroked its golden bair. "God
bless you, child" he said, in a tone
so different from that of a minute be-
fore, God bless you" Pausing for
a moment, he turned quickly to the
clerk and said, "Well, Smith, l
suppose the poor fellows wanted a
rest. Let EN- go. You needn't
send for them" and sitting down at
his desk he turned his face away and
shaded his moist eyes with his hand
as the clerk silently took his de-
p%arture.-Mail and Express.
